SICK WF FORK SENSOR

ICK WF5-40B416 Fork Sensor

Product Overview

The SICK WF5-40B416 is a high-speed fork sensor designed for reliable optical detection of very small objects, labels, edges, holes, and other components in automated industrial applications. It uses an infrared LED and an integrated optical detection system within a compact fork-shaped housing, making installation simple and precise.

With a 5 mm fork width, 42 mm fork depth, and minimum detectable object size of just 0.2 mm, the WF5-40B416 is suitable for applications requiring fast and accurate object detection. The sensor supports PNP/NPN switching outputs and selectable light/dark switching.
